In the two primary departments of the
River Falls public school last Friday af-
ternoon, one of the most delightful events
TO the little people took place in the form
of Christmas matinee. The little folks
from both rooms congregated in Miss
CAROLS room in the afternoon and at the
appointed time marched to Mrs. Smiths
room where a complete surprise awaited
them. The room was decorated and
lighted by lamps. So great was the de-
light of the little people that it found ex-
preston in the clapping of little hands,
stamping of feet, and finally they Rugged
each other from pure joy. The exercises
consisted of songs, pieces, etc. A little
Jack Frost came upon the scene, dressed
inwhite and sparkling with frost. He
went out and found a Santa Claus who
presented them with popcorn, apples
candies and bouquets. At the presenta-
ton of each there was inexpressible joy
depicted upon each face Description of
it is impossible. 1t was by all odds the
happiest event we ever Witnessed A
goodly number of the patrons of the
school were in attendance and caught the
spirit of the occasion.

Soda Water for Everybody.


Mono lake is another sheet of water
that is full of soda, borax, and other
minerals in solution. The waters of both
Owens and Mono lakes is a natural deter
gent. The dirtiest and greasiest of cloth
ing is made clean in half minute by
simply rinsing the article in the lakes It
fathers naturally when agitated. When
there is high wind wall of suds three
or four feet in height is seen along that
shore upon which the waves beat. This
quivering wall-in wlSich are seen all the
GOlOrs of the rainbow and as many beau
ties as are shown by the kaleidoscope
would grow to height of ten or twelve
feet before topping over, but that when
it attains certain height the wind
catches it up and watts great balls of it
far inland
Some of these floating balloons of lather
are as big as a flour barrel AS the pre-
vailing winds are from the west, all vege-
tation on the eastern shore of the lakes is
killed for a distance of many rods When
there are unusually high winds the balls
of suds are blown so far inland IS to
reach clumps of willows and other bushes,
the leaves of which are then seen to be
scOrched as though by fire. The water,
just as it comes from the lakes, would
make an excellent shampoo for the use
of BARRIERS; and the solid matter resulting
from evaporation would make a fine
washing powder for laundry use.-Vir-
